(verse 1) {Common}
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green girl?
I know you're sick and tired of arguing,
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we gotta swallow it.
Your heart and mind, Baby, follow it
Smile, happiness, you can model it
and when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
I'm 'a do the best I can do
'Cuz I'm the best when I'm with you

(Chorus) {Mary J. Blige}
Come close to me, Baby
Let your love hold you
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (nothing nothing)

(verse 2) {Common}
Put down your bags, Love
I know in the past, Love
It's been sorta hard on you
But I see the god in you
I just wanna nurture it
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealing with this water love
You even give my daughter love
I wanna build a tribe with you
Protect and provide for you
Truth is I can't hide from you
The pimp in me, may have to die with you

(Chorus) {Mary J. Blige}
Come close to me, Baby (Come close to me, Baby)
Let your love hold you (Let your love hold you)
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (What's this world without you)

(Bridge) {Mary j. Blige}
I know what you're thinking: You're on my mind
you're right, you're right, you're right
You promise too fast. it just might take time (slow down a minute babe)
I hope you're not tired tonight, tonight

(verse 3) {Common}
You helped me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kinda laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me
It's destiny that we connected girl
You and I, we can affect the world
I'm tired of the fast lane
I want you to have my last name

(Chorus) {Mary J. Blige}
Come close to me, Baby (Come close to me, Baby)
Let your love home you (Let me move you tonight, Baby)
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (we gonna make it)
I love you, I love you, I love you

(Bridge 'til fade) {Mary j. Blige}
I know what you're thinking: You're on my mind
you're right, you're right, you're right
You promise too fast. It just might take time
I hope you're not tired tonight, tonightLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Common Feat. Mary J Blige - "Come Close"

(verse 1) {Common}
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green girl?
I know you're sick and tired of arguing,
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we gotta swallow it.

Smile, happiness, you can model it
and when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
I'm 'a do the best I can do
'Cuz I'm the best when I'm with you

(Chorus) {Mary J. Blige}
Come close to me, Baby
Let your love hold you
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (nothing nothing)

(verse 2) {Common}
Put down your bags, Love
I know in the past, Love
It's been sorta hard on you
But I see the god in you

You even give my daughter love
I wanna build a tribe with you
Protect and provide for you
Truth is I can't hide from you
The pimp in me, may have to die with you

(Chorus) {Mary J. Blige}
Come close to me, Baby (Come close to me, Baby)

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the Soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on films such as 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas), 'Wanted', and 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.I, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

The 2007 album Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West. Common released his eighth album Universal Mind Control in 2008, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album but lost to the Eminem album Relapse. He released his ninth album The Dreamer/The Believer in 2011. Nobody's Smiling, his tenth album, was released in 2014. The concept of the album was inspired by his troubled hometown of Chicago.
